Fashion is everywhere

Just thought I’d show you where I put all the bottles after removing the Expedit which used to store my wine. I had those bottles, cans and snacks floating about throughout my kitchen cabinets for a period of time but by doing a bit of reorganizing I was able to clear a small cabinet and store it all in there. Love that it’s all together now.

I can see that you have good taste in gin, as in so much else!
I’d love to have that kind of neat storage. We have the wine and the beer in the basement, along with the canned food (we have a “matkällare” – what is that in english?), the ordinary gin in the kitchen (close to the other drink utensils), and the really expensive stuff in the library.

Beer for Wille? Really? What’s the drinking age in Sweden? Here in the states you have to be 21, but get this, we have no problem giving a kid that’s 16 a permit to drive and then a license at 17. Talk about us being all over the board with rules.

Cheers to the two of you.
But I guess if I drank all that with only one friend d I’d need more than a decaf the next morning. At least those little black Ristretto capsules. Double. And Alka Seltzer. Haha 🙂
Enjoy the weekend

Those are actually a light beers but Wille is allowed to drink alcohol according to Swedish law and does so occasionally. When you turn 18 you can drink in bars but you have to wait until you’re 20 to buy alcohol in Systembolaget which is what our liquor stores are called.

Like it all together like that….but what are those little red boxes stacked on the right side?? Heineken is far superior to Stella Artois, though I like Peroni (Italian) even better. Sometimes the bars serve Peroni on tap in Peroni glasses, which are cool indeed, especially the old ones with the little red PERONI tag on them.

Yes supposedly alcohol is illegal for people under 21 here, but my nephew’s father is Italian and he has been drinking wine with dinner since he was 13 or so. I don’t think it’s a big deal if a parent is there and allows it. The kids can’t BUY liquor tho.
And it is true, you can get married at 18-19-20, have a big wedding, and not allowed to drink at your reception. You can have children! But you can’t buy alcohol.
The reasoning is that restricting alcohol severely reduces fatalities from drunk driving, and actually, it really does.
